Mayweather beat McGregor in a boxing match in Las Vegas in August last year.

And it’s since been mooted that the two could fight again - but this time in an MMA contest.

McGregor is a superstar in the Mixed Martial Arts UFC franchise, but Mayweather is a complete novice in the sport.

Despite his lack of experience in the Octagon, it’s not stopped talk of a potential match taking place.

And could it be because Mayweather has already confirmed he WILL step inside the cage?

Speaking on UFC Tonight, the promotion’s president Dana White said: “Obviously, the only way making that fight again makes any sense is if he comes over to the Octagon.

“We went over and boxed him, the UFC and Conor McGregor. And now it’s time for him to reciprocate and come fight in the Octagon.

“Floyd said leading up to the fight with Conor that he would do both. So we’ll see what happens.”

Despite White’s comments, Mayweather has insisted he didn’t commit to a rematch on McGregor’s turf.

“I never said I was gonna fight in the UFC,” the boxer told website FightHype.com in December last year.

“I didn’t say that. I said if I wanted to I could.

“Could and would do is different things. I’m not gonna do it, though.”

Boxing and MMA journalist Gareth A Davies thinks the fight WILL go ahead.

He said on TalkSPORT earlier this week: “My soundings are that there are a lot of talks going on in the background, there are a lot of talks around people with Mayweather. There are a lot of talks about him potentially having an MMA fight with Conor McGregor.

“Conor McGregor had no chance in a boxing match with Floyd Mayweather.

“People will tune in to see Mayweather get stopped by Conor McGregor and it won’t affect his boxing record.

“I think it’s going to happen and I think it will be a three, four, five hundred million dollar fight again.”
